Uhh, Iraemancer. You were going to be the Heir of Rage, if I recall correctly.

However, I recommend that you use just one quirk, the ALL CAPS. However, unlike Gamzee, you could use it for EMPHASIS, not just on every other line. (Just my opinion there, but I would rather read all caps than leet. )

thats what I meant I use ALL CAPS for EMPHASIS or when Im RAGING (I am the knight/heir/whatever of rage so it only makes sense) no I didnt mean the every other letter is caps thing that gamzee does usually

but other than that Ill just write all lowercase with no punctuation whatsoever exept multiple exclamation points for when im RAGING!!!!!!!! (which is how I write usually)

Spoiler:

also on an unrelated note Im now on act 5 of homestuck

just a heads up there may be some1 joining us (both codrex magna and homebrew)

also I talked to spectral and he agreed that my new and inproved typing quirk is really awesome

basically you know how terezi replaces As with 4s Is with 1s and Es with 3s

well since our arc number is 218 ill do 2s for Ss 1s for Is and 8s for Bs plus do the vriska thing where I replace anything that sounds like eight with an 8 also CAPS for EMPHASIS on specific WORDS that are very IMPORTANT TO READ

Hmm, alright then.

As for your typing quirk, I still don't think we're going to have a unified Arc Number, but your typing quirk itself sounds good.

And if you do change your Kind Abstratus, then I recommend making it "asltrflekind", because usually really long phrases like "assault rifle" are abbreviated in Kind Abstrata.

I think there's even an upwards limit on the number of characters in a name.

Regardless, I recommend going with riflekind if you switch at all. In case there are no assault rifles at hand in any given moment.

I imagine riflekind will work for assault rifles, too. Bladekind worked for katanas and generic awful swords (though supposedly not for khopeshes, though I doubt that one will be actually proved).

Sorry I can't be more thorough at the moment because we haven't decided on the rules fully, but I have one thing to note: Though you can probably suggest something to your Server player, it is your Server that'll decide on your final title.

Just a heads-up regarding that game aspect, so you're aware you may not have the title you expect.

Also yes, welcome to Codrex Magna! And you can ask me any questions you may have via PM or post or whatever.

I assume right before we start the RPG, but I'm at least certain you'll find out before your character does. We may have a list of the order of players' entry into the game, but I'm not sure.

Well, I can't say much more than that it will work. Essentially the only undecided thing is the exact order of our characters' acquirement of the game within the VRPG, which will decide the Server/Client order.

You can post your name and weaponkind pretty much whenever you want, so if you have them finished you can post them now or whenever.

It's ... complex, to say the least.

First: Ignore the rules you see in the first post of this topic. They're outdated by quite a bit, as the rules are still being tweaked.

Basicly, unlike many RPGs which are basicly group storytelling, this RPG actually has combat rules and so on. Each player controls their character, as well as designing their house and so on. However, when they enter the Medium, their Server begins manipulating their enviornment. I don't mean the usual drag-and-drop stuff, I mean they design and run the planet, control all of the enemies, Consorts, the Denizen, and so on ...

It's all still in the works and should be launching 12/8/11, if all goes well. We have the combat system worked out except for one statistic, but how strict the rules for creating houses should be and exactly what falls under Server or Client responsibility is still being figured.

Also, you "play" by editing images, so we'll be creating a readable comic in Homestuck format. That means you'll either have to draw your own sprites or nag Wally here to do them for you.

Hmm, another Nick. Also by the way, your chumhandle is only capitalized in the second part (i.e. requiemObserver).

May I ask exactly what shade your text will be?

Interesting typing quirk and Kind Abstratus though.

Steel-blue might be a little close to mine, which is the same I'm typing in now.

But I'm considering changing it anyway.

Actually, my character's name isn't Nick either. I had a character named Nick Vague, whose chumhandle was swordsmansInkwell. However, my new character's chumhandle is rationalArchaist and I assure you they are completely different characters.

The only similarity they have is a love of programming (although RA is actually capable while SI wasn't) and the same taste in hairstyle, although Nick had dark hair and RA is blonde.

Also, SI is also the initials of synesthiacIntellect as an in-joke referencing this.

That is why I was asking about what specifically your font CODE is, CSR. I wanted to know what shade it was compared to SpectRaKy's.

And lol what, RA is blond. (By the way, "blonde" is the female form of the adjective. It is, in fact, the only gender-linked adjective in English I know [blond is male, blonde is female].)

my character is not just blond HE IS ALBINO

(please take a moment tho refer to my avatar)

like that only in homestuck mode (maybe ill use that pic for hero mode)

A fun fact about me: Sometimes, I imply incorrect things to see the look on Wally's emoticons.

A well established truth: RA doesn't use spellcheck, and wouldn't know blonde was masculine.

Okay, dark red... What code for the dark red will you use? Like, #A31212 or something?

Also cool symbol, but if you're going to have it on your shirt you may need a less elaborate version in appearance, without effects and stuff. Basically something that will look like a simple shirt design, or... something.

I'm designing my guy on tuesday with my bro. It's gonna take some massive talent, and a m****** miracle.

But yeah, Iraeus is kind of an obvious (and weird) name. You don't have to make your ENTIRE THEME based around anger, and in fact it would be better if you didn't, probably hence your original title.

Iraeus is a real name its LATIN those are my two major themes latin and wrath

hence my catch phrase: VAE VICTIS!

(meaning woe to the conquered)

also anton slavik is a character from a game and spectraky said I shouldnt just "import" a character

plus wrath isnt going to be my only theme just a major one

No, Iraeus isn't a name. I watched you make it up, I just didn't say anything at the time.

Also, guys, there's a different between Wrath and Anger. Anger means frusteration with someone, because you feel as though they have done you wrong. Wrath is being overly cruel, hurting people more than they deserve as a precaution or simply enjoying the thrill of being superior. While Anger often leads to Wrath, Wrath itself can be inspired by paranoia or just boredom.

Iraemancer: Okay, if Anton Slavik was another mined name then I can understand discarding it. Plus, if your entire character is based around wrath then I'm considering giving you a different variation of a title...

SpectRaKy, I've never even heard of that being a definition of Wrath. I thought wrath was actually the superseding quality to anger - anger quickly burns out, but wrath is the burning, unending emotion that drives some villains.
